On Duchene and Landeskog...
It really feels like Colorado will hold out on moving either of these two players until later...At least that is what they want everyone to think. They are playing hardball with teams to the point where two GMs I talked to this weekend feel its a fools game, with one adding, "Its the kind of situation that you really need to look away from as a GM. It can distract you from getting real stuff done..."
On Brendan Smith...
A lot more value now that Shattenkirk appears to only be a rental...limiting his possible teams. Brendan Smith is someone the Rangers have liked for a very long time...The Penguins, Hawks and Lightning are also very hot on this player...
On Hanzel...
This a good old fashioned battle between Ottawa and Montreal...especially if Montreal starts to shift focus away from Duchen...
On Marc Andre Fleury...
Talking to a source just now who believes Fleury now knows he will not be moved at the deadline, but will be OK moving prior to the expansion draft...Calgary and LA are still trying though..
On Del Zotto...
Tampa, LA and Boston are the most interested...still possible he stick in Philly...
more to come...please do follow on Facebook and I will be doing an opinion FaceTime live shortly...
